Forecasts

Daonethatgotaway (5/2), Zahee (7/2), International Lady (9/2), Pascalia (13/2), Sunset Nova (9/1), Bucky Larson (9/1), Wonder Spirit (14/1), Shining Aitch (16/1), Malaysian (25/1), Akmaam (28/1), Angel Of The Sea (28/1), Gatsby Cap (28/1), Un Bacio Ancora (33/1), Curley Rose (50/1), Inverbrena (66/1), Love Mocha (66/1), Gianh River (125/1)

ZAHEE has been unreliable in the past but he's been in good order lately and, having scored over C&D last time, he's worth a chance to go in again from a mark that still looks lenient based on his best form. Daonethatgotaway is an obvious threat having finished strongly into second here recently and International Lady is worth considering for all that she's not the most straightforward.
